Jaguar F-type launched

Jaguar has launched the Porsche Boxster and 911-rivaling F-type sportscar in India. It is available in two variants, a supercharged V6 S variant that puts out 375bhp and a supercharged V8 S variant that puts out 488bhp.

The V6 S is priced at Rs 1.37 crore, while the V8 S is priced at Rs 1.61 crore (ex-showroom, Mumbai).

The front-engined, rear-drive sportscar is based on an all-aluminium structure, which translates to a kerb weight of 1597kg in its lightest form. The V8 S does the 0-100kph sprint in 4.3 seconds.

It is 21mm shorter than a Porsche 911, and 128mm longer than a Boxster. At 1923mm, the F-type is a considerable 115mm wider than a 911, a car that is wider than ever in its most recent 991 generation.
